Lexis English campuses are located in some of Australia’s most iconic surfing destinations. Our ‘English in Action’ surfing program allows you to combine part-time General English with surfing lessons from the best local instructors. Even if you have never surfed before, you’ll be catching a wave by the end of your first lesson and within a few weeks you’ll be surfing with the locals, your classmates and maybe even one or two of your teachers.
The ‘English in Action – Surfing’ course includes:
• Part-time General English
• Pick up and drop off transfers between school and the beach
• All equipment
